Let's Chat about Churros...

Here in California at the wonderful theme park that is Disneyland they have been experimenting a plenty with the Churros... and I have to tell you I think our fave was the pumpkin spice they had in October. However we have tried quite a few...

I have included our reviews of the Carrot Cake and the Pinapple Churros... if you want to see the Somewhat review we did on the Pumpkin churro check out our youtube channel Schultzfam...

C hurros Are very much a Disneyland California (it saddens me that have I have to include that as Disneyland was the original park and Paris will forever to me be EuroDisney, I digress) Staple. So it is only natural that the culinary world if you will would experiment with different flavors, and only natural to have them served at the California Parks. What I dont understand is this AP Churro Challenge... You pay $5 for a button and a map... that is basically what you are doing. it's not like you are Given a time frame to do this in or its a scavenger hunt.

I hate to be the Debbie downer on this ooey, gooey cake and sugar filled parade, I know I am completely missing the boat on this. Don't get me wrong I just dont understand it, I mean its not like you paid for the churros in advance or that you are getting a discount on the churros. This is just another way to market the churros that I normally would have tried anyways. Definitely leave a comment below if you have done the Churro challenge, if you disagree with me or even if you do agree with me... I would love to know your thoughts? Have you tried any of the Churros? if so which one is your fave. I will have to do a disclaimer on this Matthew tried the Ants one that can be found in Bugs land and he said it was ok. He went without me and the camera so no footage...

Thanks again for reading and taking the time out of your busy day to listen to my mumblings... I know you have many vlogs and blogs to choose from and we appreciate you stopping by...

Saying Goodbye ...

Now let's be honest with ourselves, we have already said goodbye to Pieces of the original paradise pier once before and now it is really getting a new name and being rethemed to Pixar pier... So in reality we as Disneyfans have been down this road before. I mean this really isn't anything new at all is it? Remember when the fun wheel was the sunshine wheel? and when Screamn' had a Mickey in in the Loop? You don't? See I do. I was there before opening day. I was a Cast member back in 2001 and to be honest I was able to go during the preview back in December of 2000. I remember when there was no Bugs land or Cars land, No little mermaid. I remember when they were marketing the park to teens and Young Adults, they didn't want any Disney Characters walking the park. So when Disney started to get feedback in from the guests that it wasn't family friendly they had to do something... Its tough to be a bug was an original for opening day, but that was all. Where parts of cars land sits is where the farming section was for DCA. I bet you didn't even know or remember when DCA even had its own version of Supreme Scream, of course it was aptly named the Maliboomer.

And as it is great to remember DCA, Paradise Pier 1.0 we have to remember we have to continue to move forward, as said by our favorite Uncle, Walt. Am I sad to see Paradise pier go, yeah a little, I mean lets be honest it is only in the name not really anything else... I mean they are repackaging the area and adding a thing or two here and renaming a few things... Disney is always revamping and reevaluating their needs and the guests needs and wants... So, they have to stay relevant and innovative to help to spark the imagination of the younger generation that way the innovation can continue on...

Oh and who can forget when we had a burger invasion (McDonalds) and an eatery called Pizza Oooh Mow mow? Change is Constant, that is the one thing we know. So farewell to Paradise pier and cant wait to see you Pixar Pier... Look forward to the new Theming... See you all beautified in June 2018...

Girls Weekend

It is Important to make sure that we maintain our friendships, you know the good ones, the ones where you uplift each other and you both kick each other in the ass to get it in gear. The ones that know your dreams and help to push you to achieve them, and those that know your lows and help you get back to being balanced again...

My Friend Tennille (she is more like a sister than a friend really) came down this last weekend to help me celebrate my 40th birthday. I know I can't believe how loved I am either.. Actually I can, what I can't believe is that I turned 40 this year. It seems like yesterday that T and I were going to Dances in the Singles ward, or working at HELL (thats what we called the place we worked at when we met and forged our friendship).

Anyways back to our girls weekend. Tennille came down on Thursday the 9th and then on the 10th I went over to her Grandpa's house where she was staying. When I picked her up she was getting a haircut from her aunt M. We then proceeded to the Happiest place on Earth, no not to a masseuse, but rather to DISNEYLAND resort.

No kids, no spouses just two Girls having fun and making more memories... to add to the years of memories that we have already made. The day was exhausting from all the fun we had, the laughter we shared and the love between two friends. It was a busy day between the holiday weekend and the Run Disney event, and all the fun... We ok not we I pooped out at about 10:30.

We got to the parking structure at about 845ish and then we ended up purchasing Tennille's ticket from the Disneyland app while in line for the Mickey and friends parking structure. Once we parked we went through security and that is when it became even more apparent it was going to be busy. We waited for two trams I think which isn't that bad it was a lot of people and they were running both sides for the trams...

We had a lunch reservations at Carthay circle. On our way over we ran into our friends Eighty5point5 AKA Rich and Jason. it was very serendipitous I really didn't know if we would see them at all as we all have busy schedules while in the parks and low and behold I look up near where the festival of holidays is being held and I see some familiar faces and I went up and said hi... It was such a pleasure meeting friends from the Tube of You and Twitter. To actually put a face to the names on the screen. It was a pleasure Gentlemen, my only regret is we didn't spend more time together... I didn't want to impose.

This was the first part of my Birthday Celebration... enjoy

So we both had reservations for Carthay circle at the same time they had the dining package for world of color and we were going to do it but decided that day not to. Tennille had looked at the summer menu when we decided to book it, only to realize that they have a seasonal menu... so the Autumn menu it was... we shared an Angus burger and some cheesy balls, they have bread and as a nice gesture I was gifted a dessert to celebrate my birthday.

We will talk about the sip and savor AP pass for $45 later, I have a whole video on it so if you want to check on it now you can go and check out the channel. I have the video embedded. it as so much fun. I love hanging out with Tennille, One of the only friends I have that I can be 100% silly around. Please check it out it was fun to eat around the holidays, come and be apart of our silliness...

At the end of the night we couldn't decide on Churros or Ice Cream and we chose ice cream cause you can get churros that taste just a good at Costco but Mickey shaped Ice Cream is a little more difficult and more magical on Disney Property. Thank you for reading and watching our videos. I appreciate the time that you give to doing those activities.
